Waits for Clarkson's stock I hate VX comments

Remember the lauch of the Vec C - it was too dull to even comment on it.

Clarkson's comments on the Astra VXR was

He said he would never say a bad word about it, he loved it.

About 2months a go there was an awesome article with the Vec VXR against Subaru STI and Evo etc. Obviously jap stuff was quicker but they couldn't shake the Vec. Impressive

It'll be another typical anti Vauxhall rant with the Stig dumping the clutch and steering harder halfway through bends to provoke understeer, like he so obviously did in the Astra sporthatch Vxr thingamybob. The other two will be driven delicately and precisely to cover the Frods twitchy steering and the Mazdas dim witted 4wd system, allthewhile Clarkson will be wittering on about how much better they are compared to the Vectra. It's almost not worth watching, I feel the results will be Ford, Mazda and then if he has to, Vauxhall, decided before a wheel has turned.

If it's any different, I'll happily eat my words, but I just can't see it after the Signum 'test' he tried to conduct from the back seat.

Don't get me wrong, I like Clarkson and his journalistic and presenting style, but his views on certain cars and manufacturers are beginning to become tiresome and boring.
